Visual Basic Form in Access Application

[Sorrells]

This will sound arcane but here goes.

Can a form created in Visual Basis be incorporated into Access?

My client feels there may be an opportunity to better use a Drag-N-Drop function for specific forms I have created if they were VB forms.

I have looked all day in various forums, sites to find a yea or nay without success.

Any thoughts?
Regards, Sorrells

Nope, can't happen. There are drag-n-drop controls and code available for Access. I haven't played with them at all, but I think I've seen some really good people talking about them on comp.databases-ms-access. Do a google search for that group and you should find what you need.

Jeremy,

Let me make sure I have this correct. There is no way I can integrate a Visual Basic form into an Access application. Regards, Sorrells

Correct. You can create a form in Access that does everything (more or less) that gets done in a VB form. But there is no way you can integrate a Visual Basic form into an Access application.

Jeremy,

Thank you very much! This was my suspicion all along but I could not find a definitive answer. Now with your help, I can calm my client down and continue design in Access.

Jeremy,

I took a look and added it to my favorites. I purchased Office XP Developer for the Runtime and find it to be a pain, still - I need to deploy to stand-alone PCs as this will be a CD in a book.

Again, thanks for all your help! Regards, Sorrells
